Itty Bitty Clothes

Tiny fingers, tiny toes,
     little itty bitty clothes~


little whimpers, little cries,
darling little sparkling eyes~


precious little fingers that reach out
for tomorrow~
always staying near to your
 heart.


a whole new meaning of love
to explore~


one of the most beautiful
miracles of
life~


a little "vintage inspired" coat~
(a baby gift for one of my friends at work)



a winter white blanket
 for the babe~


a little chenille bunny
for when those tiny fingers
begin to explore~
~
you can find the pattern for Bunny Blanket Buddy here



and a little beaded hat
to match the coat!


~a little wintery ensemble
that I began knitting in the early
summer!


Pattern details
~
a whispery soft pale pink wrap blanket --
I used a size 11 needle
(cast on 60 stitches and knitted in stockinette)
~
the "vintage inspired" coat--
Churchmouse Wee Ones

(I added a little standup collar and a few rows
 of 2x2 ribstitch around the sleeves)
~
Yarn details for the coat~
Fiesta Yarns - La Boheme
(I did some midnight shopping in my yarn stash
and this was my selection)
~
I wanted something that had a lot of texture for this style of coat.
This yarn is double stranded, with one strand being a soft kid mohair,
making this coat so soft and lovely.
I also loved the beautiful vibrant pink color of the yarn.
And -- it was in my stash --so once again---
I am stash busting! 
Woo Hoo!


The little pocket was made from a vintage handkerchief
that I purchased at the flea market. 
The hanky was beautifully embroidered - so I cut the pocket from part of the embroidered section.
A bit of vintage lace was added along the top 
along with a little pink tulle flower and beaded leaf.

Just Keepin' it Real~
I have finished my winter nesting -- I actually finished early!  All of the Woodland nests and the Shabby Chic nests have been delivered to their new homes.  This winter the little nests traveled to Europe, Australia, and Indonesia, in addition to parts of the US and Canada. Those nests are more traveled than me!

Next in line~~
Your Vintage Spring nests -- the next in my Designer series -- are already started and moving right along --for those of you on that reserved waiting list --- you won't be disappointed!

I've been watching some great television while I'm working on all of those nests~ I've loved watching these period drama series productions- Bomb Girls, Heat of the Sun, and


My sweet husband bought me a Kindle Fire HDX ( love, love, love!!) (the Kindle and the guy!!)-- so I've enjoyed downloading and watching Downton Abby on there.  I've also loved the free books that are available with the Amazon Prime membership.  Most recently I enjoyed reading--
 She Wore Only White.

Right now  I'm reading -- The Island.
~~~

 Not too many dull moments here in the Sacred Yarn Room!  The nests are constantly changing as they evolve in the making each year.  Up next -- I'll share with you the beautiful new look for this year's Shabby Chic nests.

Can I just say this~~ I am so sick of this winter!  ENOUGH already!!!!
